What TV series are you watching at moment?

really enjoying Servant

more 2 episodes and I finish Fleabag... at start, the break of the 4th wall was a bit off-putting but in retrospective it works like a charm... she's fucking lovely... :^) 

i had this on my watchlist dunno why but i quite enjoyed it... Kirsten Dunst is on her prime...

naw, it was great. i'm optimistic.

Much better than Discovery.

I think the last time I watched a scripted drama from one of the US networks must have been Hannibal on NBC, which was a pretty weird match. I find it's mostly the drama series on channels like HBO, showtime, and FX that I'm drawn to.

Anyway, because I'd read the comics I decided to give Stumptown on ABC a go. IMO it isn't that bad, that is if you go into it not expecting any story line to be all that serious. It's a PI drama that sort of reminds me of cross between White Collar and Terriers (which was another great show on FX that didn't last). Stumptown has some pretty good acting and easy to solve one episode crime plots that make for an easygoing watch. 

greg araki decided to transform his movie kaboom in a tv show, kind of... saw 2 episodes yesterday and I'm digging it, it's fun...

i think I'm gonna cry, not because it's finishing but cause it's gonna be hard af... 

If Tuca and Bertie hadn't been cancelled, Bojacks ending would just be bittersweet instead of just sad. It may be years until another cartoon styled this way.

First episode of Picard was... good?? I’m actually excited for the rest of it now.

The Circle, lol.

Picard is horrible. 

Watched the 2nd episode of Picard, it's pretty good, my main annoyance with it so far is the terrible lighting fx, it's not JJ Abrams light-flare level bad, but it's still distracting and annoying.

Probably the price of being on CBS.

+1. episode 2 was really boring. the constant references to female characters from TNG in (now) higher positions is a little unnecessary and only plays to fan service. lieutenant rizzo can most definitely get it though.

i dislike how they've made picard more timid and meek rather than how he was in TNG: assertive and even obsessed to the point of being maniacal (even in 'all good things' when he's as old as he is now). 

laris can also get it. she's the hottest romulan since taris that i can remember

I feel like if you expected a show that even Patrick Stewart as of several years ago swore would never happen wouldn’t cater to a little fan service, it’s not the show for you?

I mean referencing Bruce Maddox in the first ep is the epitome of fan service but they set it up so it’s a throwaway unless you’re into the mythology. 

Also maybe I’m biased because I’ll watch Allison Pill in anything.

i don't have a problem with maddox being referenced considering if his storyline plays a significant part in this show- it's all the references to current admirals (like the one who refuses picard to have his own ship and crew) being former TNG ensigns- the doctor being on the stargazer- the sleight of hand way they confirmed riker and laforge  were still alive. there's something about it that didn't work for me.

also, when laris is talking to lt. rizzo: was it just me or were the dramatic and very often camera angles distracting for anyone else? it's like the editor was desperately trying to find a rhythm in that stilted conversation but had nothing but the worst dailies to choose from. 

i also agree with anyone that said the look of this show is horrible. everything is so blown out and bright it's almost annoying

Nearly had a heart attack during a certain Bojack Horseman episode

speaking of Star Trek

i just finished Voyager and it was good fun. really consistent and rarely dragged its feet. last episode was a bit too much but it was handled pretty well, much better than it could've gone given the ludicrous plot. would've much preferred something a bit more natural than some time travel shit about regret/what could've been, basically the premise is a fuck you to the entire idea of Janeway but.... i'll not stress too much about it.  

bye bye Delta Quadrant

I'm watching The Vietnam War by Ken Burns.

10/10

I'm not really huge into war stuff but Apocalypse Now! is my favorite film of all time. Same as Science Fiction, not massively into the genre but 2001 Space Odyssey and Alien are also in my top 10.

I'm not at all into Romance (just in case you were wondering) or Bestiality Porn either (just in case you were wondering)

So what are your favourites from those genres?

Lodge 49 is trying hard to fill the gap of family being away, but it’s a very mixed bag. An old face from Twin Peaks turned up too. It veers from slapstick to tragedy to west coast cliches. A shorter format would help.
